The Switch: A Tale Of Two Souls

Chapter Two: An Impossible Truth

Elena/Beatrice

“Pete, I'm not crazy even though you think I am, even if I can not remember anything for now, I sure as hell do remember what my face looks like, and this is not my face,” I said, shaking my head disbelievingly, as I touched the strange face, “This is not my body! Where is my body? What happened to me? How did I get here?” My curiosity piqued, but instead of responding, he came close to me and kissed my lips gently and passionately.

“Let's get on with it before others come back from their lunch break." He said softly into my ears, and his breath sent shivers down my spine.

Doctor Pete took me in his arms as if it were the most natural thing to do. His mouth pressed hard and passionately against mine, and with a joyful leap in my heart my whole being responded, my body ached for the touch of his fingers, which now traveled down my spine, caressing my breast. Momentarily, I felt dazed by my own desire, weak with my compliance.

We undressed each other slowly, exploring, stroking, and kissing, until I moaned with longing, my body on fire. Doctor Pete laid me on the hospital bed and caressed my c**t, while also sucking on my n*****s gently, driving me to a frenzied agony of erotic desire, before he took me, holding back his own gratification in order to bring me to the height of s****l excitement.

To me, it was almost as if he played me like an instrument. He started slowly and walked up to a great Crescendo, then drawing back several times before he finally let me reach that overwhelming ecstasy. That made me cry out loud with rapturous pleasure. Only then did Pete give way to his own tide of surging, thrusting passion and let his own groan of excitement mingle with mine.

He thrust gently, and I moaned softly with happiness. Faster, Faster, I said softly into his ears. I bit my lip as I moaned in pleasure.

“Elena! Elena! Open your eyes.” I heard him call my name, but I was already on cloud nine, and I wanted to remain there.

“Elena! Wake up!” This time, I heard him call out louder, and I slowly opened my eyes.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Doctor Pete and the nurse who attended to me earlier standing right in front of me. How did I get here from the pleasurable moment I was having with Doctor Pete? After a moment, reality abruptly reasserted itself —The passionate s*x, the moment of pleasure, and the excitement and euphoria of the last few hours, were all in my head.

The nurse assisted me with sitting up, but the last thing I remembered apart from the dream was going to the restroom.

“How are you feeling now, Elena?" Doctor Pete asked, calmly. I remembered how he handled me in the dream, and I couldn't help but smile, as my cheek flushed red, recalling the moment— Behind the labcoat, stood a romantic man.

I sat still, as they both checked my vitals and updated my chart. But I needed a moment alone with Doctor Pete.

"I want to have a word with you privately, Doctor Pete,” I said gently, my voice barely above a whisper.

I was starting to feel uncomfortable with the presence of the nurse, and so I asked that she excuse us, which she obliged.

‘’Doctor Pete, it is not that I'm trying to force myself to remember anything, and I don't want you to think I'm crazy, but I know my own face, and this… this isn't it, this body is not mine, something is happening to me, my sense organs are heightened, and I cannot explain it.’’

Doctor Pete smiled at me and reassured me that all would soon be well. I could tell that He did not believe me— He must think that I was losing my mind.

‘’My teeth ache too, my gum is swollen, I think I need to see a dentist,’’ I opened my mouth to show him where it hurts ‘’See where it hurts.’’ I said, desperately searching for answers.

But Doctor Pete’s expression changed from calm to shocked, he was taken aback by whatever it was that he saw in my mouth.

‘’Elena, close your mouth,’’ he said hastily, as he rushed to the door to confirm that it was locked. When he returned, his eyes fixed on my mouth, and his voice barely above a whisper ‘’You have fangs, Elena.’’

His words hung in the air, as I waited for him to explain whatever it meant to have fangs, I felt a cold shiver run through my spine not because of what he had said, but because of the look he had on his face, it was that of fear and shock.

‘’What do you mean by that?’’ I asked, raising my voice as panic set in.

He hesitated, then said slowly and calmly, ‘’You're changing… changing into…’’

‘’Changing into a What?’’ I interrupted him abruptly.

‘’I’m afraid, you are changing into a vampire,’’ he swallowed hard as he forced those words out of his mouth before he continued, ‘’It's the only explanation. Human beings do not have fangs, only a vampire does.’’ His expression was that of uncertainty as if he was trying to comprehend the whole situation.

‘’No… I can't be,’’ I felt like passing out, I was feeling dazed. Vampires were not real, they were just mythical creatures, found in myths and fictional stories, they were just fantasies, but now it's appearing to be real, ‘’No, I can't be a Vampire.’’ I whispered.

‘’Elena, you are not yet a Vampire, You're still in the process of becoming one— You are transitioning,’’ he explained calmly.

But a shadow of darkness passed through my face, I was becoming a monster, a creature of the night.

‘’Can it be stopped?’’ I said as I gazed into his eyes, desperately hoping he'd say yes.

‘’That is not an option you should consider.’’ He said as he turned his piercing gaze away from me, shaking his head vigorously.

‘’Why not?’’ I said, my voice rising as I felt a surge of frustration.

‘’Because, you will have to die to stop the transition, and I can't let you die.’’ his face was etched with concern as he spoke firmly.

‘’Am I not better off, dying? Vampires are monsters, they feed on human beings, they can't go outside in the daytime—and you expect me to live a life like that?’’ I said as a wave of hopelessness washed over me.

‘’All those things are not true,’’ he said, shaking his head disapprovingly, his eyes filled with a hint of deep sadness, ‘’You do not know anything about being a Vampire.’’ his face showed a deep longing as if to show me that there was more to being a vampire.

‘’How will I survive this? Please help me, just give me a lethal injection, and I'll die peacefully instead of killing people to survive…’’ I said, desperately.

‘’I know you don't remember what brought you here, but you were rushed here because you tried to kill yourself. In fact, you are currently under surveillance— I almost lost you, Elena, and now you're asking me to kill you?’’ he said, his voice filled with emotions.

‘’You seem to know me intimately. Can you tell me why I tried to kill myself? And why are you so keen on keeping me alive even after finding out that I am a Vampire?’’ I said, as I gestured to my fangs, ‘’Is it just because I'm your patient, or there's more to it.’’ I asked, my curiosity piqued.

‘’I will answer all your questions, but the most important thing is…’’ an urgent knock at the door interrupted him, ‘’Don't tell anyone about your present state, and I promise to help you through it all.’’ He said with a quick glance at the door and turned to reveal his fangs to me.

‘’You… You are a Vampire too.’’ I stammered, my mind filled with fear and confusion, thousands of questions raced through my mind, but before I could ask any of them, he stood up to answer the door.
